Shifted Energy

Shifted Energy

We desperately need renewable
energy, yet we are wasting it!

Wind and solar PV are growing exponentially, which will dramatically increase curtailment. Li-ion batteries are competitive for storing 30 min to 4 hours of electricity. But this is not enough.

Only long duration energy storage allows to save this electricity and meet the complete peak demand.

Lambda Quantech

Lambda Quantech

Lambda Quantech provides low-cost IoT sensors and an AI-driven analytics platform for real-time monitoring and
quantification of fugitive methane emissions at biogas plants.

Demeter Bio

Demeter Bio

Demeter Bio’s flagship product, MelioShield, is a next generation biopolymer derived from black soldier flies, a high-performance alternative to synthetic materials across cosmetics, healthcare, packaging, and biotech industries.

Orchid Solar

Orchid Solar

Orchid Solar is replacing diesel generators in remote mining with modular, high-temperature solar technology. Based on research from Oxford University, the novel, patented, mirror and heat storage systems provide clean, dispatchable power at a fraction of battery costs.

Adia Thermal

Adia Thermal

Adia envisions a future where the energy transition is seamless. By leveraging commoditized hardware with digital twins of the built environment, Adia adapts our existing infrastructure to a decarbonized future.

HydraPulse

HydraPulse

Introducing the HydraPulse, a remarkable advancement in sustainable energy generation. Central to its design is the revolutionary Stephenson Turbine (TST), an impulse turbine technology that stands at the forefront of innovation. Enclosed within the HydraPulse, this pioneering turbine design achieves unparalleled efficiency and power output, surpassing conventional approaches.

Optimise-AI

Optimise-AI

Optimise-AI is transforming building energy management, through its virtualised Building Management System (BMS) technology, that harnesses the power of digital twins. This cutting-edge solution delivers actionable insights, even for the 90% of commercial buildings that currently lack a traditional BMS. As a result, clients consistently achieve impressive energy and carbon savings, typically exceeding 40%.

Open Hydro

Open Hydro

Open Hydro is the leading platform that automates water GHG emissions quantification, allocation, and mitigation opportunities at any given point in the supply chain. The platform provides the most accurate water emissions data aligned with internationally recognised reporting frameworks.​

In doing so, they help mobilise climate-aligned investments in water infrastructures to ensure the decarbonisation of freshwater systems.

Ki Hydrogen

Ki Hydrogen

Ki Hydrogen is a deep-tech climate venture using biomass electrolysis to produce green hydrogen at cost parity to fossil fuel based hydrogen. Their innovative technology uses up to 75% less energy compared with water electrolysis, while also producing valuable chemical commodities to be sold as co-products.

AED energy

AED energy

Aed Energy designs and builds thermal energy storage technology enabling reliable, clean, and low-cost power. We aim to radically advance the long duration energy storage market by providing deployable, low-cost thermal storage batteries – a critical enabler for the widescale deployment of renewable energy across electricity grids worldwide.

Bluemethane

Bluemethane

There are 3 billion tonnes of CO2e emissions from water per year due to methane. Currently there is no way to remove this methane at scale, until now. Bluemethane is a technology startup developing a first-of-a-kind, scalable data and hardware solution to capture a billion tonnes of greenhouse gases from water. With methane’s global warming power 34x that of carbon, Bluemethane is tackling a core problem for global warming.

PuriFire Energy

PuriFire Energy

PuriFire is pioneering the production of green chemicals and fuels from wastewater. Their patented process produces green hydrogen and biogenic carbon dioxide for upgrading into biomethanol or SAF, eliminating the need for electrolysers and carbon capture systems.

Nium

Nium

Nium eliminates emissions by delivering hydrogen as a more efficient energy vector. Their novel nanotechnology revolutionises the Haber-Bosch process and enables the synthesis of truly green ammonia.​

With two patents filed, Nium helps build the infrastructure and network for a cleaner future of food and fuel.

Materials Nexus

Materials Nexus

Materials Nexus is seeking to revolutionise how new low-carbon sustainable materials are discovered and developed. Typically, getting a new sustainable material to market takes 20 years but this can be markedly reduced using their technology. Their initial focus is on novel alloys and ceramics, leading with high-strength, light-weight recyclable alloys to replace steel in the automotive industry, that promise up to 20% increase in fuel/battery efficiency​.
